Find Lunch:

Desi Shack’s Official Grand Opening is Monday

A couple of days ago while walking down Lexington I noticed in big words “Coming Soon Desi Shack” (on 39th Street). According to their website, they will be offering grilled meats on skewers (and veggie options) to go with rice, salad and paratha. Right now they’re on soft opening mode but plan to officially open on Monday the 3rd. Check out the full menu on their site.

Eating it now. I picked up an aloo roll and lamb rice bowl. It’s like a hybrid between Chipotle and Kati Roll, a good hybrid. The portions of the bowls are slightly smaller than Chipotle, which is a good thing to me. The rolls are the same size as Kati, but less greasy. More variety than Kati, and less greasy. I wish there were more sauced meats, instead of only the dry ones. A curry or masala would be welcome. The service was nice. It’s a more than decent for a cheap lunch. I prefer it to Kati, which will never be more than a once a week place, due to limited selection.
